ABOUT

Traveler, Hiker, Writer, Fur Mom, Auntie

I am a lifelong learner and traveler who has picked up many things about life and the world through my own healing. I believe that everyone has a unique "self" that is waiting to come out, sing, and heal them. I am committed to meeting others where they are and helping them find that internal lantern that will illuminate their path.

 

Central to my practice is working holistically with complex trauma. I understand that trauma doesn't live only in the mind, as it also shapes the body, the nervous system, the stories we tell ourselves, and the relationships we build around us. Healing from complex trauma is rarely linear, and it requires space for all of it: the grief, the confusion, the unexpected bursts of clarity, and the slow, quiet work of becoming. I approach this work without rushing, without a predetermined destination, and without any expectation of who a person "should" be on the other side. My role is to hold steady alongside you as you move through it.

 

As a former Funeral Director, I spent years having the privilege to serve others at some of the most tender thresholds of human experience: witnessing grief in its rawest forms, honoring lives, and sitting with families in the space between what was and what comes next. I am honored to continue the practice of service through counseling and sitting with others during their own journeys. Whether you are navigating loss, trauma, transitions, or simply the ache of not yet knowing who you are becoming, I believe that being truly seen and accompanied makes all the difference.
